InterBase vs. MySQL vs. Oracle Advanced Security vs. SQLGate Comparison Chart

Ultrafast, scalable, embeddable SQL database with commercial-grade data security, disaster recovery, and change synchronization. Cross-platform, zero-install, embedded database as a direct-access library. Cross-platform, zero-install, embedded database with database-level and column-level AES and DES encryption. Concurrent applications/client access to the database on Windows with database-level and column-level AES and DES encryption. Ultrafast, scalable, SQL server database for Windows and Linux with commercial-grade data security, disaster recovery and change synchronization. Attacks on databases and loss of data can be costly and lead to loss of customers’ trust (and business), regulatory action, and heavy fines. InterBase provides over-the-wire and at-rest encryption, separate security login, and role-based user security. InterBase maintains full on-disk encryption while adding negligible overhead to database speed and performance.

Encrypt application tablespaces to prevent out-of-band access to sensitive data using Oracle Advanced Security. Redaction policies prevent the proliferation of sensitive data and aid in compliance with data protection regulations. Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) stops would-be attackers from bypassing the database and reading sensitive information directly from storage by enforcing data-at-rest encryption in the database layer. Encrypt individual data columns, entire tablespaces, database exports, and backups to control access to sensitive data. Data Redaction complements TDE by reducing the risk of unauthorized data exposure in applications, redacting sensitive data before it leaves the database. Partial or full redaction prevents large-scale extraction of sensitive data into reports and spreadsheets. Encryption is implemented at the database kernel level, eliminating the need for any changes to applications.
